It’s been a busy week for Fallout fans following the Fallout 76 reveal but there’s more Fallout to come. The Fallout: New California total conversion mod, which is a prequel to Fallout: New Vegas, now has a final release date.
Fallout: New California is set to release on 23 October after five years of development. Beta sign-ups will apparently be taking place in July, and although the main questline has been completed, the team are wanting more time to work on side quests before the October launch. The team explained why they want these complete for the final release.
Fallout: New California will start players in Vault 18 with a new character and there are 16 main quests and numerous side stories making this a mod you’ll probably want to play. Keep eye on the mod page for more updates and that beta test.
So we will code that ourselves the hard way, and provide a lot more support in optimizing the engine side of things. Our art is just running up against the limits of what this old engine can do. We need source code. Or, we need to do tedious work to work around limitations on both low end systems and high end ones that can handle all the pretty stuff at 60fps.
